This year we went up to the bay area to celebrate Easter with our family. Sienna came down with her first cold on Thurs. night, so she was not feeling the best on Friday. That night she hardly slept! To make matters a little worse, Garth had gone to San Francisco with my brother and cousin to celebrate my brother's birthday. They stayed the night in the city, so I was solo with a sick baby. I didn't want to wake my mom because she was sick as well, and I knew Sienna would probably be fussy with anyone else, especially because she wasn't feeling well. I fell asleep for the first time at 5:30 a.m. It was awful!! So I stuck it out and was beyond thankful when Garth came home early in the morning to take over and let me sleep. I didn't know a cold could be that bad. I wished so badly that I could have switched places with her. Oh what a terrible night, it was by far the worst night she's had since she was born!
Anyways, onto Easter, a happier subject. Saturday night she slept through the night, thank goodness and luckily she felt a little better on Sunday. After getting up and getting dressed in her first Easter dress (oh my did she look adorable!), we went to my grandma's church for Easter service. Funny story-my mom was holding Sienna for a while and this lady was saying a prayer during the service...a very long prayer. Sienna started getting fussy, so I stood a little to reach over and get her. I sat back down....on her squeaky toy (Sophie the giraffe), which then made a loud squeal during the silent church service. We all started giggling and Sienna started crying, so I squeezed to the outside aisle and was trying to control my giggling while walking out of the church. Funny stuff!

After church we came back to grandmas where Sienna opened her Easter basket and then took a nice long nap, while our family enjoyed a wonderful Easter meal. We had such a great time being with family and Sienna was a trooper with her cold. I don't want her to get sick ever again (I know, wishful thinking!).

Before we left, Sienna had some time to snuggle and spend time with her Noni.
We hope you all had a blessed and wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of our Lord!
